Exploring the Effect of Visual-Based Subliminal Persuasion in Public Speeches Using Explainable AI Techniques
Leveling the Playing Field
Participating in studies with lengthy questionnaires can be exhausting, especially for individuals with disabilities or neurodivergent individuals. Gamification can potentially enhance user experience (UX) and, thus, create a more inclusive engagement with studies. This study investigates gamified studies’ UX for neurodivergent persons. A gamified version of the Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire – Short Form (Q-LES-Q-SF) was created using motivational theory and the gamification frameworks Marczewski’s Periodic Table of Gamification Elements and Gamification User Types Hexad Scale. First results of a preliminary comparative survey with N = 72 (gamified n = 31) suggest that gamification increases the UX for neurodivergent participants

Balancing transparency and control: The impact of AI explanation detail on user perception in automated vehicles
As automated vehicle technology advances, explainable AI has emerged as a critical tool to enable users to understand and predict the behavior of AI systems, particularly in safety-critical applications such as automated driving. However, increased transparency in AI explanations may inadvertently contribute to an “illusion of control”, a cognitive bias in which drivers overestimate their influence or understanding of the AI’s actions. We aim to better understand how the level of detail in AI explanations affects users of automated vehicles. In a virtual reality study, N = 44 participants experienced different explanation levels (low, medium, high) in an automated ride (SAE L4) compared to a baseline condition with no explanations. The results show a significant improvement in participants’ user experience, acceptance, and explanation satisfaction, with more detailed explanations. Our findings also indicate that as AI explanations become more detailed, users’ perceived level of control increases significantly, although this perception does not correlate with actual control capabilities. At the same time, it decreased their desire to take control, indicating users’ susceptibility to the ’illusion of control’ bias in the context of automated driving. Overall, this suggests that the design of explanation interfaces should strive for a balanced level of detail that promotes AI transparency without causing cognitive overload. At the same time, explainable AI can be utilized to decrease users’ desire to intervene in the AI’s actions
Comparison of different Input data for the prediction of LED solder joints using Artificial Neural Networks
Scarcity of raw data is a major issue for applying data driven methods to reliability prediction, so making the best use of what is available is critical. This paper studies how different aspects of measurement data can be used best. Specifically, the reliability of the solder joint of LED packages is predicted based on Transient Thermal Analysis and Scanning Acoustic Microscopy data from a large measurement campaign. The impact of using full temporal information vs measurements at individual datapoints is investigated as well as the benefit of including the SAM data, and different ways of presenting the TTA information, either as a full curve or as expert-selected features. The impact of formatting categorical information of solder and LED package type as one-hot encoding or using embeddings is considered. Finally, the performance for Pass/Fail predictions of the best identified model with a model architecture developed on a similar dataset is compared. We identified the most relevant sources of information for predicting the behavior and the best format for the data, which helps guide the choice for future model architectures
